Thx, CD. Monday, September 1, PM. Thursday, September 18, PM. That should fix it Thursday, November 6, PM. Thanks for your response, Bruce. In fact, I unchecked every box that related to a shadow, re-started the computer, and the color boxes still enclose the icon text on my desktop.
Still open to your suggestions Saturday, November 8, PM. I have singed up just to help people out on this question I had the same problem like 10 minutes ago but I found it out, I did what Bruce told us to do and it didn't work for me either so I was mega pissed cause I thought maybe it couldn't be fixed.
But to all the pissed of people out there I hope this will cure your rage. Hope this is the answer for most people. If it still doesnt work just play around a bit in that section. Im sure you can figure it out , I did. And also you still better make sure all the boxes are unticked in that Web tab that Bruce referes to before.
Well I'm happy, well I'm sure my mother will be even more happy Its her computer. Just gotta love fixing noobs propblems ; Have a good one Ruddigidy. Monday, October 19, AM. In windows 10 the desktop icon font is "dynamic" which means it's automatically chosen based on the color of your background image.
Windows samples a color from which part, I'm not entirely positive from your desktop background and then automatically chooses the color to use for font. This is ridiculous for SO many obvious reasons, main one being it nearly always chooses the exact same color as your wallpaper. Thanks Microsoft. At least in previous versions of windows, when font color was automatically chosen, it would apply a slight drop shadow to make it visible against same-color wallpapers.
Not the case with windows 10, it seems. What you'll have to do, is right-click your desktop background, and select Personalize. Then, change your background type from " Picture" to "Solid Color". Choose Orange this will change your icon font to black.
Then, immediately change your desktop background back to Picture , selecting your wallpaper of choice. The color should remain black now. Worked for me, hopefully it works for you too! If you have a white background and do not want to use High Contrast Settings because they change a lot of other things , try this solution that did work for me.
When I changed my background color to white by using a white image jpeg as my wallpaper, my icons showed, but none of the identifying text showed because the icon text was also White. When I toggle that setting either way if my desktop icons were not showing, they now appear with a black outline, which makes them readable.
Oddball solution, but I tested it several times before posting here. Hope it helps someone. Thanks, GoinAn. This fixed it for me. I haven't checked to see if the settings stay the same after a restart yet, but for now your solution worked.
In fact, you have to turn off the drop shadows before you can change the color: Select Start, then Run, type sysdm. Click the Advanced tab. In the Performance box, click the Settings button. Scroll down to and uncheck Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop. Click OK for each box.
Now that the drop shadows are gone, you can turn the letters black by selecting a light background color. Wordle Scams. T-Mobile iCloud Private Relay. Avira Antivirus Crypto Miner.
